That the consting carnival wae a grand guccess, surpassing the most sanguine expeclations, is a fact admitted by all, even by the numerons people who yester day nursed braises and rubbed liniment on aching limbs, the result of the night of riding down hill. And such consting as it was—the like had ne before been seen in Omaha Gathered on Dodge street Saturday evening was an immense throng, estimated by some at 10,000 They stretched along the track fteenth to Twenticth streets, an - eager, restless mass of humanity. The seene was a gay one. Strings of Chinese lanterns, electric lights and an arch of as- pplemented by the gl from filc Huminated residences on the street, made the track as light as day and added splendor to the scene.

Dr. Ramacciotti, the city veterinarian, acting for Dr. Gerth, the state officer, has just returned from a remarkable mission rney. Information was sent him that some horses belonging to Cutting, near the town, were d with a strauge and malignant The doctor at once summoned Messrs. Barnhart and Johnson of the state live stock commission and hastened to the scene. The horses in question were six in number, and the officers found them suf- fering transpoits of terrible pain, all of the same character. The doctor at once proceeded to dingnose the case, and was struck with the similarity to hydropho- bia which the symptoms bore. 'They re- fused food, and went frantic upon_bein offered water. They bit their flanks anc forelegs sayagely, and_in If’ manner expressed the direst distre nvestiga- tion upon the point of their exposure to ies revealed nothing beyond the fact were part of a carload of horses recently shipped i from Illinois. The doctor and commissioners satistied themselves that the malady of the beasts was beyond eure if it were not positively hydrophobia. The horses were, there- fore, condemned and killed and the brain and a portion of the spinal matter brought here for closer examination. This mysterious development of what reasonably seems to be terrible hydr phobia is significant, the severest i vestigation will be made. The remaind of that car lot will be hunted up and trail made back to Illinois for the origi- nal cause of the malady. The doctor and commission, before re- turning went to Sidne) d there killed and condemned a number of glandered horses. HORSES. FAILURE o1 Cf;\VlN(i & CO.

The officers of the department of the Platte who' have so long been figh Indians, pursuing stage robbers, etc., now engaged in devising ways and means to combat a new and formidable foe the appear ridiculous, but it is true, nevertheless. At several of the posts in the western section of the department, the bed bugs have been so pe in their attack that the commanc have within the past few days written to Gen, Howard asking for large supplies of some lightning insect exterminator. These requests have been referred in turn to Gen. Schoficld, and finally to the war department. A communication has just been received from Washington saying that Uncle Sam cannot afford to pay the expense of a bedbug war. The matter is thus in an unsettled condition. What tl oflicors and_soldiers of the the depar ment of the Platte will do remains to be seen. Mayor Boyd Signs the Fire Ordinance The B of a few days ago published the fire limits ordinance as it was passed on last Tuesday night by the council. The document was submitted to the may- or, and has been signed by lim with the customary attestation of the city clerk. The ordinance is now in force. 1t is rather extensive, including, as it does, a number of streets and localities which were not at all restricted as to the kind of buildings they shou commodate. Under this ordinanca it is an offense to build any building which has not an ex- terior of either, brick, iron, stone or son other fire proof matcrial, within the pre- bed distriet. It will be well, there- , for people who propose to ercet res- idence or other buildings to know where the fire limits are to be fo The ordi- ance is not yet onc day old, and still, injunction has been obtained under its provisions, as may be seen in another part of this pape Marriage Licenscs Issued, “Business has b Vi light in the matrimonial market this eek,” said ClerkGurley of the county court Saturday. “Only seven have been issued so —the lightest number for several weeks.
